I don't understand why you say "also."  The two things you listed are the same unless you're talking about a separate field, but you didn't mention another field.  Text instead of dollar amount is the same as text instead of a digit or whole number.  A dollar amount is nothing more than a number data type ...

Can you not make that digit-only field a Whole Integer data type?  If so, then any data input other than digits will throw a validation error.  Is there a reason you can't do that, or did you not know how to do that? For the other field, place conditional formatting on it that says, "If OtherField is blank, disable this ...

Nah, don't sweat it - I don't think you're off in this regard.  No matter what, for your people to fill out the "form," it has to be associated with the template.  The result of filling out a form is that you get an XML file, but that XML file is just a bunch of text unless it's associated with the XSN ...

MOSS 2007 or just WSS 3.0?  MOSS is by default an Office 2007 product, and to have those licenses would mean that you likely have an enterprise agreement, which would include all of Office, not just SharePoint.  Do you know why there is no plan to upgrade to Office 2007, which is far superior and is about to be 1 version old (2003 is ...

The form did require modification to the publishing settings.  I had to check all the boxes for editing.  Did you take the sample form and do the same by publishing it to a new form library with the editing boxes checked? Lee - arch rivals!  Littleton is just down the road - I drive through on the way to work each day ...

Noted, re: SharePoint. I don't know why you're getting that wierd behavior when publishing to email, but the "sent to mail recipient" from within the form is definitely not how you want to do it.  Have you tried publishing to a network location?

I only selected the major versions radio button - nothing else.  The rest is done by InfoPath settings. PS.  I went to Brewbaker, Goodwyn, then JD almost 20 years ago.

It's not clear how your workflow is built nor how InfoPath is related to the workflow.  Could you expound?

that's where I need more clarification.  What "mail to recipient" option on what top menu?  You can't send interactive forms that way if you're referring to the Windows option on a file (Send To > Mail Recipient).  The publish to email should work, so I'll need to know what's going on there.  ...

Yeah, you can't change data for your secondary data connections like that.  If you had data elements in your main data source, you could set their default values to something from the secondary data source using a filter, but that's a side thing.  Your form should not fail just because it returns no data from that source.  ...
